For his Fall Winter collection, Harrison Wong turned to Mark Rothko, the mid-20th Century abstract expressionist whose powerful paintings are comprised of blurred blocks of vibrant colors with blacks and greys, for inspiration. Wong crafted fields of gradient tones as prints and patterns to complement and magnify the lines of his fitted overcoats and oversized sweatshirts. His menswear and womenswear creations were layered in unique fashions by altering sizes, vests, and pops of electric blue and orange hues.Sharp cutouts and puffer materials contrasted the soft ambience of Wong’s tonal, gradient knitwear.By adding a sportswear element to his signature modern classic style,Harrison Wong createdstunning looks with a wearable,immediate appeal.
